Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup begins receiving One UI 8 in global market

Samsung recently released the stable version of One UI 8 based on Android 16 for the Galaxy S25 series of smartphones in South Korea, and now the update is starting to appear for users around the world, as reported by Android Authority.

The stable version of One UI 8 is gradually rolling out in European countries, even to users who did not participate in beta testing.

The update, called S93xNKSU5BYI3, weighs in at 4GB. For users who participated in the beta testing, its size is around 500MB.

One UI 8 has a number of notable changes. The main ones include a refreshed interface design, improved gesture controls, a new quick settings panel, and deeper integration of Galaxy AI features. There have also been improvements to performance and security, although Samsung has limited bootloader unlocking to do so.

One UI 8 will only be available on the flagship Galaxy S25 devices during September, but in October the update will start appearing on many other smartphones, including last year's Galaxy S24. We reported on the full list of devices earlier.
